The principle aim of the course is to prepare practitioners who will be considered for appointment as Approved Mental Health Professionals under the Mental Health Act 2007.
The course also recognises the diversity of mental health social work and provides practitioners with the opportunity to develop and extend their knowledge and enhance their skills in dealing with complex work.
Learning and teaching methods will include a mix of interactive workshops, teaching sessions and facilitated group discussions. Service user and carer input will be central to student learning and teaching methods. This will also be combined with individualised self-directed learning with flexibility in units to tailor learning to meet individual student needs. Opportunities for experiential learning will be provided in a supervised practice placement as required by the professional body, with supervision as key.
Assessment for the programme will be varied and will include completion of a portfolio including a report by a practice assessor based on observation of the student´s application of learning and competence in demonstrating the requirements. A range of reflective assignments and an in class test will also be included.
